At the meeting we discussed about introducing some toolbar buttons for alignment, which is something users request very frequently. I think the best idea is to move out of the table toolbar the alignment buttons and make them working for paragraphs too, creating a new toolbar. I've removed the bla

Hi! There was a time when I laughed at those asking about an Android-version of LyX, first of all because LyX sometimes tends to be quite RAM-consuming.
